Lo 

I had a look .. and I must confess ... the spelling is all my fault .. 
I'm just a little dutchman ( south african if you want ) 
In future I'll run ispell or something thru the html ;) 

I have changed the toolbar again ... slightly ... I have added sub-title type
discriptions to the main links .. let me know how that gells .. 

I hae removed the developers section .. and changed it to "Dev and Code" and I
plan to setup a list list off documentation of coding things like 3d engins and
all that stuff you all know about ;) 
( feedback on this idea please ! ) 

I unfortunately have a 3 day dealine for a site at the moment .. so I'll be
offline so to speak to a while ... anybody out there wanting to give a hand ..
feel free ... I'll send you all the font's and stuffies I used for the logos
and such .. Just mail me

Done ... I'll add a Contact link to all the Pages rather ;0

Read above

Ok .. what are that information ... you must remember .. I only started Coding

P.S. .. this link is no longer there ;)
